Wild Child (Rutland Online Herald 12/14/18 by Tom Huntington)

Humble Baritonics has been a big fan of Wild Child for a long time. Their YouTube videos range from playful to bizarre. And I love them. Tom Huntington of the Rutland Online Herald shares his opinion of the band... (Link to original article)

Not many bands can put such a pretty spin on growing pains as Wild Child, a seven-piece indie-pop group from Austin, Texas. The hard-touring septet brings its renowned live show back to Higher Ground in support of its fourth album, “Expectations,” released in February on the independent Nashville-based label, Dualtone Records.
Another winning album from one of America’s most compelling indie-pop groups, the assured “Expectations” serves up the band’s trademark brand of buoyant rhythms, beautiful vocals, lush instrumentation and impressive songwriting chops.
“Four albums in,” said Austin360, “the Austin indie-folk band-that-could has become increasingly confident without losing the sense of childlike wonder that’s so central to the spirit of their music.”
Based around the duo of lead vocalists Kelsey Wilson (violin) and Alexander Beggins (baritone ukulele), the band has steadily grown since its inception in 2010, and is now a “mini-pop orchestra” that includes Sadie Wolfe (cello), Matt Bradshaw (keyboards, trumpet), Cody Ackors (guitar, trombone), Tom Myers (drums, percussion) and Tyler Osmond (bass, vocals).
“Their live shows have always felt like a party where the world may end following their bombastic set,” said the Houston Press.
